The Years I Ruled the Roost

The fortune-teller said I was the kind of man who would rise to greatness over a mountain of bones. But I say my destiny is to become an emperor, while a hundred generals earn glory under me! I started out in Harbor City. I began as a nobody, a mere boy in everyone’s eyes, but with an aunt who took a liking to me, the help of benefactors, and the blade in my hand, I went from dreaming of the top to climbing my way there, step by step! For those ten years, fortune was on my side. Countless sums of money passed through my hands, along with countless beauties.
